Features: Have you been to Tibet? It has already become a fashionable topic today, which shows how high and unreachable Tibet is in people's eyes, a sacred landscape that can only be gazed upon. Tibet is indeed a place worth visiting again and again. The clear blue sky with white clouds, snow-capped peaks, rivers and lakes, forests under the sun, hillside slopes covered in wildflowers, and the vast wilderness where Tibetan antelopes and wild yaks roam, the villages and monasteries in the river valleys, the colorful prayer flags fluttering in the wind, and the contented lives all gently soothe the complicated and restless minds of people outside Tibet. Forget about it, let's go to Tibet! Cars, airplanes, and the Qinghai-Tibet Railway are all options available. Adventurous souls can also choose to drive, cycle, or hike. We can follow the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, Qinghai-Tibet Highway, Sichuan-Tibet Highway, Yunnan-Tibet Highway, Xinjiang Highway, or even air routes. In short, along any road, including the sky, let's rush toward the Tibet we have long dreamed of! Tibet is truly different. Stepping onto its land, breathing might become a bit difficult, and you might feel a bit dizzy—not just from the beauty, but also from the altitude. This is altitude sickness, and it’s also one of the rare experiences. After the reaction passes, you’ll feel exceptionally light and refreshed, so pack your bags and go in search of your dreams! There are six golden tourist routes that can guide us through Tibet: the Golden Triangle Tour Route in the heart of Tibet, the Lhasa-Shigatse Golden Tour Route, the Lhasa-Nyingchi Golden Tour Route, and the Lhasa-Alti Golden Tour Route. If your enthusiasm for exploration isn’t satisfied, you can also exit from the Zhangmu Port and visit the mountainous country of Nepal. Of course, don’t forget to handle all the necessary exit procedures. Wait, wait, before setting off on your journey, we also need to bring a guidebook. This book will provide useful text and illustrations to help us explore Tibet without getting lost. This guidebook is right in your hands—the "Tibet Travel Guide" published by the China Tibetology Press.
